LAS VEGAS (AP)--A backpack exploded in a parking garage attached to a Las Vegas hotel early Monday, killing a man who had picked it up and injuring another person, authorities said.
The man had removed the backpack from atop his car when it exploded shortly after 4 a.m. local time on the second floor of a parking garage behind the Luxor hotel-casino, said Bill Cassell, a police spokesman.
The second person was taken to an area hospital.
Aerial video showed no apparent damage to the parking structure, where entrances were blocked while police, firefighters and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents investigated. No further information was immediately available.
The Luxor, owned by MGM Mirage (MGM) is a pyramid-shaped hotel at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip.
